Querying Performance Data of a Microwave Link

Performance data of a microwave link includes 15-minute performance data and 24-hour performance data and is displayed in a table or graph. Performance data helps maintenance engineers learn about service running conditions in specified 15 minutes or 24 hours.

Prerequisites

Applies to the RTN series NEs.
A microwave link must have been configured.
The performance monitoring parameters must be set.
NE time must be synchronized with the Web LCT server time.

Procedure

Browse the current performance data.
1. In the NE Explorer, select an NE and choose Configuration > Microwave Link Performance from the Function Tree. Then, click the Current Performance tab.
  The performance data of the NEs on the two ends of the microwave link is displayed in a list.
2. Select Auto Refresh as required.
3. Optional: Click Save As. The performance data of the microwave link is saved.
Browse the historical performance data.
1. In the NE Explorer, select an NE and choose Configuration > Microwave Link Performance from the Function Tree. Then, click the History Performance tab.
2. Set values of the Resolution, Period Time, and Display Format parameters.
  NOTE:
  When Display Mode is set to Report, the historical performance data of the microwave link is displayed in a table.
  When Display Mode is set to Chart, the historical performance data of the microwave link is displayed in a graph.
  When Link Tx/Rx Power is selected, the receive power and transmit power of the microwave link are displayed in a graph. To display only the desired power parameters, click Legend and select the desired parameters and change their colors in the dialog box that is displayed.
  When Links Errors is selected, the bit error statistics of the microwave link are displayed in a chart.
  After the parameters are set, the performance data of the NEs on the two ends of the microwave link is displayed in a list or chart.
3. Optional: Click Save As. The performance data of the microwave link is saved.
